I want to read. I have time to read. But every time I sit down to do so, I instead choose to surf the Interwebs, play games on my phone, or watch tv. I'm all broken!!!!

Ela, get a Cavoodle. That’s what I have! He’s gorgeous. Cooking, omg. Eating, baking, playing with my puppy, working, exercising! Shopping cos they are eating me out of house and home.

for you. I hope you enjoy it.
Yay, Michelle!I haven't read any of your books, and my first thought was to pick the new Amy Harmon book that everyone is loving; however, me sees a Marmy book on your shelves that's just calling out to be read. So my pick for you is:
Rainfall by Melissa DelportMay it keep you out of your fridge!
Eep!! I'm so excited to pick for you Marissa and you have 5 of my top rated books on your list including Amy Harmon's most recent. The challenge is real, but I pick:
If you enjoy the occasional audio, I highly suggest listening. I think it's the best way to experience it, but not the only way.

I've needed to finish this series and since I really want to get to the next and final book (Suit), this one is a necessity. Lol. Thank you, Marta.

Lurkers...first time newbies...anyone, feel free to join! Especially right now when we're all feeling the strain of too much time stuck at home under the COVID-19 quarantine.
This challenge has endured the test of time in our group because it is definitely the most fun! Feel free to participate each month, or when your schedule allows. We're not picky, we love seeing you when you can!
The How-to
1. Create a new shelf, or update an existing shelf on your Goodreads profile, that includes approximately 20 books that you would like to have someone else use to pick a book for you to read. Label it "Pick For Me." Only books from this designated shelf will be selected for this challenge, (no matter how badly some of us want to pick something else...hint hint, pick-happy moppets...*giggle*)!
2. Post in this thread that you want to participate this month. If you don't post here, I won't necessarily remember that you want in.
3. Provide the link to your Pick For Me shelf, (this will make it a bit easier for all parties involved... unless you all really *want* to read some fanfiction...lol, oh yeah, peeps...I'll do it!. *a new month, a new pick from me!*) This is really important, especially this month. I want to make sure that the link to everyone's shelves hasn't changed...I had a bit of a snafu with my links, so humor me please :) If you're having difficulty finding the link to your shelf, please let me know.
4. On May 1st, *cough,cough* someone...the hand of fate, maybe, *cough, cough* will use the randomizer to pair up everyone. (Or worst case scenario, I really will just do the old making of a list on a piece of paper and draw lines between everyone, and you *know* what that means, *shifty eyes* see above for my pick for the month, LOL!)
5. Friend your partner who is picking for you or set your profile to public or your partner will not be able to access your shelf.
6. Post your selection for your partner in this thread.
7. Come back after finishing the book selected for you by your partner (even if it's after the month has ended) and let everybody know what you think about it, or at least that you've finished...or DNF'd it (another book off your list is always a win in our book!)
**The sign up period will remain open until pairs are posted on May 1st and you'll have until May 4th to select a book for your partner or one of these other scavengers will swoop in and do it for you.**
